That is a good idea. I am 6'4" so that might be one solution. I also raised the seat 1.5" but that made the leg problem like u was talking about worse. maybe doing like u said will help. The back of the seat is so straight because it is up against the slide, I am thinking about taking some of the foam out of the head rest area and that might give me a little more slant back, then if i do the dash modification that might help.This forum is really neat. Thanks
